PITSBURG – The Brookville Blue Devils put 12 players in the scoring column in defeating the Mississinwa Valley Blackhawks 79-18 in the Jet Holiday Tournament consolation game.
“We have to handle the ball in tough situations,” said Mississinawa Valley Coach Cole Hamilton. “We have to take care of the rock and see if we can score on the offensive end.”
Brookville jumped out to a 17-5 score after one period of play and took period No. 2 by a 22-5 count to lead 39-10 at the halftime break.
“They put pretty good ball pressure on us,” Hamilton stated, “and couldn’t handle it.”
The Blue Devils made it a 63-16 game after three complete taking the third quarter by a 24-6 count and put the game away in the fourth outscoring the Hawks 16-2.
“I thought the effort was there,” Coach Hamilton said. “Some of our easy shots didn’t fall. Give credit to Brookville, the Wood kid had a nice game for them. They got a couple of easy transition points on us that led to the win.”
Jace Wood led Brookville and all scorers with a game-high 16 points.
